RE: TV Social Media Pres Gold - Humphrey Hacker - 26-11-2022

Always seemed odd to me that LWT never had a news service before 1982. I know that a full service for 2 and half days would have been ridiculous but something similar to ABC might have sufficed:

And of course LWT did have a strong current affairs remit:

That is correct.

in January 1981 both Thames and LWT managed to convince the IBA not to have a joint 7 day news service, instead allowing LWT To hire in Thames. Both companies claimed there was not enough news at the weekends. Talks were on going and IBA allowed LWT To have 5 short bulletins reading stories from LBC.

I always get a slight frisson when I see those opening titles to the 6 O'Clock show. The mixer wipe pattern going from the titles to the Studio pictures was designed by me using a BBC computer and Eprom blower etc for the analogue GV300 mixer. I think I designed about 16 different ones if I remember correctly, quite unique to LWT and not to be seen anywhere else in the World! You could do that sort of thing then.

Edited to add. … And it’s precisely 11 years ago today that I retired from telly and hung up my tweakers.

Sounds like Calendar today. Just because its the weekend doesn't mean that life stops.

Not necessarily social media, but a forgotten footnote no less - Thames TV on WOR New York, 1976:

(Transdiffusion)

Turns out they did that again 3 years later, this time on RKO's sister station, KHJ in Los Angeles:

I suspect the idents and junctions there were probably the same skyline in the home base, but the Thames 9 symbol on the KHJ print schedules might suggest otherwise. Anyone in the know here?

Possibly for the first time on YouTube, here’s BBC1 Scotland opening up for the Good Morning Scotland radio vision broadcast from December 1980. Another excellent find from Kaleidoscope.

But in the context that the BBC weren't doing anything on Sundays in the English regions in that era, and BBC 1 was putting out Tom and Jerry cartoons in London and the South East while the rest of the country opted out for regional news (on the pretext that anything of great interest in the region would be covered by the national news) it's not so strange an idea.

RE: TV Social Media Pres Gold - W. Knight - 07-12-2022

Found this pre-1989 ITV animation from TVS on ADC:
https://youtu.be/hhzxec5yuFQ?t=15 

Coupled with the TSW sting at the time period, I wonder did any other regions use it? And why was it there in the first place?
https://dai.ly/x1tsd6a 

[Update] Seems like LWT was also a receipient of the stings, as seen at the end of the Michael Aspel promo:

And of course, their early CGI ident:

RE: TV Social Media Pres Gold - Steve in Pudsey - 08-12-2022

Technical issues mean that Thames viewers get treated to TVS South news and adverts during This Morning

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LryvVSECx7U 

and Thames apologising once they get back on the air

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFxvkEP8QP0 

This was in 1992 in the final weeks of both Thames and TVS.

Power cut at Euston, or something went wrong preparing for Carlton? (Unlikely as the latter shared LWT's established facilities)
